Uganda Barometric Pressure Map
Depending on how many places we monitor in Uganda, the map displays a sampled set of barometric pressure data to give a clear overview of current conditions.Trends Today
Here you can see which cities experienced the biggest and smallest changes in barometric pressure today. This helps highlight areas with the most stable or unstable weather patterns.
How is it calculated?
Our volatility “beta” number is generated by an algorithm that analyzes hourly barometric pressure changes. It looks at how much the pressure fluctuates from hour to hour. A beta of 0 means no change, perfectly stable pressure. The higher the decimal value, the more variation there has been throughout the day or over a longer period.
Weather Systems
Uganda’s air pressure changes a lot because of nearby weather systems. The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is a big influence. It moves north and south each year, bringing rain and low pressure when it is overhead. Tropical storms from nearby areas sometimes affect Uganda’s pressure, too.
Geography
Uganda’s geography makes air pressure different from place to place. The country is mostly highland, which means pressure is generally lower than at sea level. Areas around Lake Victoria sometimes have different pressure because of the lake’s moisture and heating. Mountains and valleys create local pressure changes.
Seasonal Cycles
Pressure in Uganda changes with the seasons. During March to May and September to November, the ITCZ brings lots of rain and low air pressure. In December to February and June to August, the ITCZ moves away, and there is less rain with higher pressure. These cycles make wet and dry seasons.
Climate Change
Climate change is making Uganda’s pressure patterns less predictable. Temperatures are rising, which can lead to more unstable air and changing rainfall. Some scientists think storms and pressure swings may get stronger in the future, making weather even harder to predict.
Places in Uganda
You can find your city in the lists below, by using our search, or on the Uganda Pressure Map above. We're tracking barometric pressure across multiple locations in Uganda to keep you informed.
Each city includes a pressure status showing whether it's currently high, normal or low, along with two volatility values: one for today and one for the full period, usually 14 days. These help you see how much the pressure is changing over time.
